  1. Can't wait to try it Marci. Have a quick question. When you had the onions ready on the cutting board did they have some celery mixed in with them as it looked like there was something green mixed in with the onion and if not could you add a stock or two of chopped celery. I can't wait to try this as White Chicken Chili is my New Favorite chili. Love your channel and so happy you are move and settled in and back on air with us.😊

  2. Having good laugh here. I made this last week because of cold wet weather, minus the beans and corn. My son was expecting plain cream chicken and rice, but I was needing green chile. Everyone very happy ! Thank you for recipe. Will try yours soon. (Yes used my Hatch hot green I’d put up this August ). Must be the NMex coming out. Making Pesole for me tomorrow. Found your recipe tonight. Having to use canned hominy, which I’ve never used . We only had dry back in my day. ( so far back in time- you could buy corn tortillas, but you had to make homemade four because they didn’t sell them, lol. Oh and the store had big pkg of blue corn tortillas so grabbed one, for nostalgia. I live so far from NMex and getting so old, I’m losing my cooking skills ( memorized recipes), and I’m defaulting to my comfort foods. Have a blessed Thanksgiving , Marcy and husband. You’re home now, you’re first. In your new home and with family. Lord Bless you all.❤

  3. Love your new home Marcy!
    This stew looks so good, I'm in AZ and it's getting a bit chilly here, especially in the morning and evening, I'll be making some of this for sure!
    I already have all the ingredients!

  4. You need to change the title to CHILE, because the moment you add Hatch or Bueno from New Mexico Green, it becomes Chile. Chili is blasphemy and is the typical wolf brand pure bean and meat chili.

  5. OMG! Marcy, I remember you from the news in Sacramento! The algorithm put your video in my feed. So happy to see you! You haven’t aged for a second. I will definitely be subscribing. This chicken chili soup looks super delicious.

  6. One year I dropped the ball( bad…) and forgot to buy green chile! So I had to buy Bueno all year and I swear by it now. Great flavor and even chop and variety on the chile. I make a version of this with pintos! Nice job!

  7. You're such a sweet lady I really enjoy the recipes that you share with us I've tried them and they're wonderful!

  8. Thank you for the rain views the rainbow as well and of course the soup I’ve been looking for other recipes than the regular soups

  9. This was a wonderful recipe! It’s so delicious and perfect for our California fall. 😊😎

    One thing I will add is for the cream cheese I left it out as much as possible and cut them into bite sized pieces as you recommended. The only difference I did is I put the pieces directly into the pot and used a whisk to whisk it directly into the pot, rather than scoop out some of the broth. It worked perfectly! Just wanted to add that variation I did.

    Thank you so much for this recipe. This will be on my list for a Christmas dish as well! Blessings to you and yours! 😊💕🙏

  10. I live in New Mexico so I have a freezer full of Hatch green chile and I also put up some Pueblo chile. Sometimes I also get the frozen Bueno. But u can't beat that flavor of the Hatch ❤❤😊
    I will make your recipe today because it is getting very cold 🥶
    Thank u so much for sharing!

  11. Marcy, I made this white chicken chili, and it's wonderful thank you and blessings to you

  12. I love white chicken chili, I played with a recipe that was on the menu at work , so I puréed half the beans used in my work recipe, made a world of difference. Creamy and thicker , I also added cream and really enjoyed the results. Thank you for sharing

  13. Marcy, thank you for this recipe. I will be making this tomorrow, we have a cold front coming in and will be a perfect meal. ❤

  14. My hen just ran through the kitchen….something about the sky falling…however , thanks for another great recipe!

  15. Yummylicious Marcy! At least one of us can cook (you, of course). Followed your directions except I made it Keto Friendly and just added cauliflower rice. I just LOVE it. Thank you Marcy😊🤩☺

  16. Marcy you literally saved my life! I'm 73 yo and l live on a very fixed income and my snap benefits bearly cover the month. I had some chicken but that was about all, until I saw this video. I took an onion like you did but I didn't have any garlic or a can of tomatoes or beans, or even a can of corn. I took what I had, chicken, a couple of tiny cans of diced chili, I made chicken stock with bullion, luckily I did have a couple of bricks of cream cheese, and lentils. I would have only fried the two chicken breasts that I had and that's it.
    I made this soup even though I was missing much of the ingredients and it's the best soup I've ever tasted! I've got a big pot and when I go grocery shopping next month, I'm going to make it again! This is holding me over for now honey and I'm so grateful for you showing me this recipe!!! God bless you, and I wish you happiness in your new home.😊

  17. I did make this with a few slight modifications – best white chicken chili soup i have ever tasted – great recipe – thanks!
